A compelling love story that shows how compassion and intolerance can intersect, Henry Jaglom’s new film is based on actual events that occurred to the writer-director’s father while traveling through Poland in 1928. With anti-Semitism rife in much of Europe, a successful Russian businessman (Mike Falkow) takes a train to Warsaw and meets a captivating young Polish army nurse (Tanna Frederick). But he is Jewish, and faces a life-changing dilemma when he discovers that the nurse he is drawn to - and who is enchanted by him - is fiercely anti-Semitic. The actual train ride across Poland, and the weekend stopover in the resort town of Zakopané that followed, haunted Jaglom's father for a lifetime.

The real drama happens backstage in this engaging film from writer-director Henry Jaglom, shot at Santa Monica’s Edgemar Theater during a run of The Rainmaker. Stage performer Maggie Chase (Tanna Frederick) is approached by TV star Stewart Henry (James Denton) to join his series, while off in the wings, the theater to which she’s devoted is threatened with closure … and a man may have been killed. As the two leads play off each other in best Tracy/Hepburn style, a fine ensemble cast adds a touch of humor to an occasionally dark look at the actor’s life.

“The change of life” takes the spotlight in this funny and fearless comedy from writer-director Henry Jaglom. At a struggling Los Angeles television station, a children’s show actress (Tanna Frederick) rallies her female co-workers to stand up to the station’s new boss (Michael Imperioli), sent from New York on a ruthless cost-cutting mission. Corey Feldman, Frances Fisher, Gregory Harrison and Mary Crosby are among the outstanding ensemble cast in this film about something every woman knows … and every man should.
